Official title

A Multicenter, Treatment-Blind Phase 3b Study to Evaluate Whether 6-Week Up-Titration in Tecfidera® Dose is Effective in Reducing the Incidence of Gastrointestinal Adverse Events in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The primary objective of the study is to assess whether a 6-week titration (compared with a 1-week titration) is effective in reducing the incidence of dimethyl fumarate (DMF \[Tecfidera\])-related gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AEs) in participants with multiple sclerosis (MS). The secondary objective of this study is to assess whether a 6-week titration (compared with a 1-week titration) is effective in reducing the average severity and duration of GI symptoms over 12 weeks of DMF treatment in this study population.
